- The strength to tell dad it hurt to learn they had not added me back in the will yet. He was neither terribly apologetic or defensive, but seemed at least to have heard me and, in the end, what matters most is the speaking of it. I understood why they wrote out, but I was sad to learn that all these years later I was still out. That I had thoughts things were good between us. He agreed that they were and just didn’t seem to connect what being written out of the will would have to do with that. But I said what I felt and the resentment is substantially eased. Our conversation after was open and honest.

Many thanks,
